Who did Hitler blame for Germany’s problems?

Hitler blamed the Allies and Communists for Germany's problems as part of a broader narrative that sought to unite the German populace against perceived enemies. After World War I, Germany faced significant economic turmoil, social unrest, and a loss of national pride, largely attributed to the harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles imposed by the Allies. Hitler and the Nazi Party exploited these sentiments by presenting the Allies as responsible for Germany's humiliation and economic struggles.

Additionally, Hitler viewed Communism, particularly the Bolshevist ideology from Russia, as a direct threat to the stability and unity of Germany. He associated Communists with social upheaval and blamed them for political strife, positioning them as part of a conspiracy that undermined the nation. This anti-communist stance resonated deeply with many Germans who feared the rise of leftist movements in the post-war period.

By framing the narrative in this way, Hitler was able to cultivate support for his party by portraying himself and the Nazis as the only viable solution to reclaim Germany from these threats, fostering an environment of scapegoating that would help propel his rise to power.
